Haunting Adeline Chapter 18 Novels & Stories

"We just need to get out of the open. We’ll find a place to hide together. A hollow log, a cave... anything." "Hide?" A sharp voice cut through the dark from just behind us. Even though I couldn’t see her face clearly, I knew it was Mirabel. I would recognize that sneering tone anywhere. "That’s your big plan, Adeline?" She chuckled and stepped closer. "You three really think hiding like scared rabbits is going to save you? If you had a single wolf between the three of you, maybe you’d have a real chance at surviving the night. But no, you’ll probably just trip over each other in the first five minutes and serve yourselves up on a silver platter."

I quickly went about my duties, dusting and tidying, wanting nothing more than to be gone before he returned. I was almost done when the door creaked open behind me. My blood ran cold. Hilton. His eyes, dark and piercing, narrowed on me. A familiar frown contorted his face. My breath caught in my throat. Before I could even think of an escape, his hand shot out, grabbing my arm in a vice-like grip. “Trying to sneak out, are we, Adeline?” His voice was a low growl, laced with venom. “N-no, Alpha, I was just finishing and I…I..”

he hisses but the hunter pushes him off before breaking into a run. Adeline watches the hunter leave, before her gaze darts to me in a knowing glance. “I guess the game of catch the hunter has started.” She pushes her weight off the wall and incline her head towards Silas. “You can finish him off right?” I nod while Ailsa purrs in my mind. ‘It's just a piece of cake.’ As if she can hear my wolf, she nods and leaves in a blur. I turn to Silas who is a mess and crack my knuckles.

Vincent’s POV Adeline’s words wouldn’t leave me. They trailed after me from the park, clinging to the corners of the hall, whispering through the hush of my footsteps. Even when I shut the door behind me, they slipped through the cracks like ghosts that refused to fade. The silence of my chambers did nothing to drown them—if anything, it made them louder. “You abandoned me.” I pressed my palms against my ears, but it was useless. You can’t unhear something that came from the heart.

Adeline was shocked. “Are these werewolves able to read minds?” Adeline thought in her mind. “We can't read minds but it's written all over your face. Your expressions are kinda readable.” Josephine told her how they can tell what's going on in her mind. When Adeline was back in Allister house everyone was happy to have her back. She noticed only Vasili was missing there. So she excused herself and went to meet her husband. When she opened the door the room was dark and it was filled with smoke.

she hinted. My eyes widened when I saw a thick fog coming out of Adeline's hand and beginning to envelop me completely. “What is this? What are you doing?” I shouted at her. But it was too late: the fog had entered my nostrils and, in a matter of seconds, all I remember is passing out. *** Bradley “I'm sorry, my master, I had no choice, the girl was hysterical,” I heard Adeline say with her face in her hands. In fact, I couldn't even scream. After all, the whole mansion heard the screams of my mate, who was clearly in a state of panic.

Her eyes looked distant—empty, as if she was carrying something she didn’t want to share. Without another word, she stood up and walked out of the room. Odette and Thea fell silent, watching her leave. Adeline headed to the kitchen. She sat at the dining table, poured herself a glass of water, and took a long sip. “They don’t know… and they don’t need to know,” she whispered to herself, sadness tightening her chest. ***

"What the hell is going on? Why can't I wake up when this dream looks real?" It had been several months, and it would not be like what Chloe said, he would do evil things with ghosts at night. As soon as he thought of this, Adeline felt a chill run down his spine. She subconsciously lifted the quilt a little higher. It was so scary! Besides, she would only have such a dream after returning to the Lockwood family. Was there anything dirty in the Lockwood family's house? She really wanted to find someone to ask what was going on.

Ximena/Angela’s POV Aunt Sadie remained silent until Penelope had finished with Raven and put her to sleep. “I don’t know why, but I feel the need to help Hudson get out of there. Something tells me that if he doesn’t get out soon, something terrible might happen. Remember how Mila ended up,” Aunt Sadie explained after Penelope left. “Do you think Adeline’s ghost is involved?” I asked awkwardly. “I don’t believe in ghosts or resurrection. Adeline is gone, but her conspirators are still alive,” she said firmly, as if she knew exactly who was behind everything.
